Office moving is not like residential moves. It involves a number of extra variables and obstacles that require better-developed logistics and additional experience. Many companies don’t take moving seriously enough, choosing to push the work onto employees. While this may be possible with a very small business, it is incredibly sloppy for a larger company to rely on its employees for this part of the process. Without the proper training, people who handle delicate equipment like computers are liable to cause damage or lose things during the job.
Certified commercial moving companies have office moving down to a science. Everything transported is inventoried and grouped together to make set up easier at the other end. Cables are labeled, tied together and coupled with their devices. Files are in organizers that preserve their order. A floor plan of both locations is created to make it easier to track where things are being positioned. Determination of the necessary manpower and equipment happens days before the job begins, and trucks are prepped and ready to go upon arrival. Company representatives survey the area and account for tricky obstacles like stairs or tight spaces. These are all things that certified commercial moving companies do, and it’s what a business owner should expect.
